2017 Map of Hamilton West

About this map

The Kalamazoo River and its complex wetlands define the southern landscape of this area, where the river meets the Big Dailey Bayou and the expansive Ottawa Marsh. This 2017 survey reveals the transition from the southern marshlands and Pine Plains to the agricultural and residential corridors surrounding Holland. A significant network of drainage systems, including Jaarda Drain and Kleinheksel Drain, underscores the region's managed hydrology. The settlement pattern is anchored by small communities such as Hamilton and East Saugatuck, which are connected by a grid of rural roads and historical landmarks like the West Michigan Regional Airport. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the distinction between Old Overisel Cem and New Overisel Cem, as well as the Manlius Cem tucked near Mann Cr.
